It Is Going To Clear The Wall For #630

After a number of
pickups and trades over the last month I have spent the last few days
organizing my additions and I am to the point where I have them mostly scanned
in and adding them to my Zistle account and today I hit my 630th unique Griffey
cards, which is his career homerun total. Card #630 is nothing special, it isn’t
limited, an autograph or a hit, but it is a card that I dig. The card comes from
the 1995 Donruss Top Of The Order release which is a collectible card game (CCG).

I have never played any
of the collectible card games but I do tend to like the cards because they are
very different from most other base card releases, usually because of the stats
and other info printed on the card as part of the game, but there are often images that are used specifically for the CCG/TCG and not used in other releases..

The card front shows
Griffey in swing, eyes locked on the ball and arms extended as he begins his
follow thru. The card back is green with the Top Of The Order logo. The Griffey
card, card #150 on the 360-card checklist, is a Rare card which came 1 per 12
card booster pack.

About Me

I started collecting as a kid but by the time I hit my teens my interests were elsewhere. I returned to the hobby in 1992, just in time to see the junk wax era go in to full swing. My collecting interests have changed over the past 25 years and I prefer to focus on just a couple of players.

My collection is very specific now because I want to keep it controlled and organized, I now focus mainly on my Ken Griffey Jr. & Jay Buhner collections.
